    Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance, with units of kg/m3. To determine the density of a liquid, one measures its mass and volume then divides mass by volume. For regularly shaped solids, density is also found by dividing the mass by its volume. Irregularly shaped solids require finding the mass and then volume via water displacement before dividing to find density.

    Density

    Q1. Define density.


    Ans: The density of a substance is the mass per unit volume. Its SI Unit is kg/m3.
    Density is a scalar quantity.

    Q2. How to determine the density of a:


    a. Liquid – To find the density of a liquid, we need to find its mass and volume
    first. After that we can divide the mass by the volume to find the density.

    b. Regularly shaped solid – To find its density, we need to find its mass and
    volume and then divide the mass by volume.

    c. Irregularly shaped solid – To find its density, we need to find its mass and
    then its volume using the water displacement method. After that we can
    divide the mass by volume
